I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 524: Closed door

Lai Da is the general manager of Rongguo Mansion. Three or four generations of people have been slaves in Rongguo Mansion. He came to his son Lai Shangrong and spent a lot of money to buy a county magistrate.

It can be said that one person attains enlightenment and a chicken or a dog ascends to heaven.

 He feels this way now.

Whether it is Su Yin or Arhat, they are all slaves who have signed a "death contract" with the palace. Even if they have a son, daughter, grandson, or granddaughter, they are still "children born in the family" and have no freedom at all.

 After that, he abolished human trafficking in Sanhe, and people like Su Yin and Luo Han only had a nominal employment relationship with Prince He's Mansion.

 When he took control of Ankang City, he revised the Liang Law, and this law was implemented throughout the Liang Kingdom.

 Including the palace, whether it is a maid or an eunuch, the latest version of the labor contract signed with the clan mansion managed by Lao Twelve is also the latest version.

However, most of the time, these contracts are just cosmetic.

Whether they are the concubines in the palace or the stewards of the royal palace, they have the same rights of life and death over these former "slaves".

Those eunuchs and maids are not so ignorant, and they really regard themselves as human beings.

 The same goes for Su Yin.

Nowadays, I still act as a "slave" and act independently. I never ask for a monthly salary increase or overtime pay. It doesn't even matter whether I am paid or not. I don't have any consciousness that I am a worker and enjoying the blessings. I just ask not to be suddenly paid. Beaten to death, there is no place to cry out for injustice.

Other than the addition of a labor contract in his hand, nothing has changed in essence. Whether he has a "status" or not depends entirely on his attitude of being in charge of the palace.

So, Lin Yi was very surprised, why are these people so awesome outside the house now?

  It’s simply a replica of “Lai Da”!

“Your Majesty is considerate of the little ones, otherwise I wouldn’t have the face to wait outside.”

Jiang Chou was really unsure of the meaning of what he said to the prince, so he became more cautious and said, "It's all thanks to the prince."

Lin Yi then asked, "Then what does your son do for a living now?"

Even though Jiang Qiu explained so much, he was still a little confused. This Tang Jiyu was not an ordinary person!

 In later generations, it would be equivalent to the son of a leading security guard marrying the daughter of the richest man in a certain industry.

 It always feels a bit unrealistic.

Jiang Qiu said in a low voice, "My son is not very useful, he is just a small flag of the Army and Horses Division."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "That's not bad. I'm less than twenty years old. I have a bright future in the future."

Jiang Qiu cupped his hands and said, "I just hope that he can make more progress, contribute more to the prince, and contribute to the construction of a well-off society in Daliang."

 “I’m just asking casually, I don’t mean anything else,”

Lin Yi squatted on the roots of a big tree, squinting his eyes and looking not far away, and asked curiously, "Is there any shade under the cliff over there?"

Jiang Qiu immediately understood what it meant. This was because his fishing addiction had returned!

He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the rocks there are rugged and it is easy to hang fish hooks. There is a wild pond nearby. The fishermen here go to the sea to fish, but no one cares about that pond. I thought it must be excellent. Fishing spot.

I, my subordinates, are going to make a nest now. When we have a good meal, we will go over and fight for explosive protection! "

 He doesn’t like fishing!

 However, if you don’t know these fishing knowledge with Prince He, you won’t be able to get along at all!

Lin Yi asked, "The wind is not strong today and the temperature is suitable. Let's go and have a good meal."

"yes."

Jiang Chou saw that he had nothing else to do, so he left.

 If he continues to stay, he will be driven crazy.

 He took off his knife, and as soon as he mixed the nest-making materials, he ran to the edge of the open wild pond.

Choose a land with abundant water and grass, spread nesting materials, and take the time to kill a wild rabbit with a big knife.

I was feeling very happy, and just when I was hesitating whether to bake it on the spot, I heard footsteps. I raised my head and saw that it was Su Yin. I was surprised and said, "Have you finished cooking?"

Su Yin raised his head and said, "There are only a few dishes that the prince usually likes to eat. The ingredients are always prepared. I can cook them with two apprentices in a few times. What's the fuss?"

Jiang Qiu complained, "Hey, you bastard, you've been sleeping rough all the way, and you're not even willing to cook us something delicious."

Su Yin sighed and said, "If the old man in charge doesn't say anything, who dares?"

They brought pots and pans, condiments, live chickens and ducks, and even live cattle and sheep with them on this trip!

 However, even if they die on the road, they have no chance to eat!

 This is the rule!

 You can only occasionally buy some food on the road, or hunt some wild animals and dip them in some salt.

 Actually, he can do it too.

 However, he was not happy to cook for these Qiu Ba.

 Unless Manager Hong speaks.

　　"If you don't show your face in front of the prince, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Chou said angrily.

"hey-hey,"

Su Yin took the rabbit, then took out an oil paper bag from his arms, and said with a smile, "You light a fire, and I will make you a cumin-roasted rabbit. I guarantee that you will want to eat more after eating it."

As he spoke, he picked up a boning knife and peeled off the rabbit skin in a few strokes.

Jiang Chou had set up a fire. Seeing that he didn't remove his internal organs or wash them, he was going to put them on the fire to roast him. He quickly said, "Hey, you are too much to deal with. How about washing him?"

 “Hey, you know a lot.”

Su Yin rolled his eyes at him and said, "It tastes better when roasted this way. I remember that you are also from Saibei, right? Have you never eaten Saibei's roasted whole lamb?"

 This is also done without disemboweling the body. "

Jiang Qiu snorted coldly, "I have never seen the kind of roasted whole sheep you are talking about. The sheep excrement and eggs are still in the stomach. Eat a ball."

 “There’s also the loach scurrying tofu,”

Su Yin said slowly and leisurely while turning over the roasted rabbit, "It's also a living loach. Heat the water and wait for the loach to dig into the tofu."

Jiang Qiu glanced at him sideways, and then said, "I don't believe you are so enthusiastic all of a sudden. Just talk about it directly. Neither of us are good people, so there is no need to be secretive."

Su Yin said with emotion, "It is said that Brother Jiang hates evil as much as he hates his enemies, and speaks quickly, and it is true."

 Looked around, looking cautious.

Jiang Qiu said impatiently, "Everyone around here is better than you. If they are deliberately watching you, what's the use of blindly watching? If you fart, hurry up."

“Oh, I almost forgot, Brother Jiang is at the pinnacle of the ninth rank. If you say there is no one around, then there must be no one.”

Su Yin's big greasy face trembled twice, and he squeezed into a ball of kindness, "Your Majesty has always been considerate of us poor people, but just now he actually cared about our marriage?"

“You’re not very good at martial arts, but your ears are quite pointed, right?”

Jiang Qiu suddenly raised his head and said, "Be careful of bad ears."

Su Yin still smiled and said, "Brother, just think of me as begging you. If it's convenient, can you tell me something?"

"inconvenient."

Jiang Qiu said without hesitation.

Su Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, although my surname is Su, I am just a cook, but we still work together, stir food in the same trough, and you don't give me any dough?"

Jiang Qiu said disdainfully, "Who are you? Should I give you face?"

"you are vicious,"

Su Yin took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and sighed, "Are these enough?"

Jiang Qiu snatched it and put it into his pocket, smiling and saying, "If you had taken it out earlier, there wouldn't have been so much nonsense."

 Don't worry, brother will definitely tell you everything he knows. "

 Then he truthfully told half truths and half lies what Prince He asked him.

 As for the whole truth?

 The friendship has not reached that level!

A little cook who doesn't even have a fifth grade dare to call him brother?

Who gave you the courage?

　　This is crazy!

  It’s simply astonishing!

 “The prince is indeed”

Su Yin listened fearfully and asked tremblingly, "Brother, you didn't lie to me, did you?"

Jiang Chou smelled the aroma of rabbit meat and picked it up with a big knife. While tearing the meat and eating it, he said, "Don't tell me, your skills are really good.

 I am definitely not lying to you, and there is no benefit. "

“Huang Daoji and I are in-laws, why would the prince be unhappy? It doesn’t make sense,”

Su Yin kept rubbing his chubby head and muttered, "No, I have to ask."

“No, who are you asking to go?”

Jiang Qiu was startled by his words and pulled him sharply and said, "Do you still dare to confront the prince?"

 “Of course I don’t dare,”

Su Yin said loudly, "Insinuating things, do you understand?

 Of course I can’t ask directly. "

 “You,”

Jiang Qiu pressed him down and said, "Don't be so impulsive. When did I say that Prince He was not happy about your marriage to Huang Daoji?"

 He was afraid that the fat man would really go find Prince He!

 When something happens, he will definitely be the first to be unlucky!

Su Yin widened his eyes and said, "That's what you mean both inside and outside of your words!"

Jiang Qiu said angrily, "You are suspicious. What Prince He means is that you, Su Yin, are the number one chef in Prince He's palace. How can your child's marriage be so casual?"

  Huang Daoji’s family has surpassed yours! "

Su Yin shook his head and said, "That's not what you meant by what you just said."

 He is not smart, but he is not stupid!

 The Huang family is superior to other families?

 It is impossible to climb high!

The Huang family is a supplier. Not only is it rich, it also has many of its sons and daughters working in the army and as errands in various government offices!

But he was born as a slave of the Su family and came from a small family, so he was completely incomparable!

The only thing that is better than others is that he is on an errand with the palace!

 It is possible to enter the palace and become the manager of the imperial kitchen in the future!

 At that time, he will be a serious official!

More than just a cook that people look down upon.

 “You are too worried,”

Jiang Qiu regretted that he had been so smart and scared this guy, and quickly comforted him, "Take your heart into your stomach, we and the prince are such kind people, don't you think so?"

 “Yes, Your Majesty is kind.”

Su Yin said this on his lips, but he actually disagreed in his heart!

 Mr. Hong is so unkind!

Seeing that he seemed to be loose, Jiang Qiu tore a piece of rabbit meat from his hand and handed it over, smiling and saying, "Come on, try your own cooking, it's quite good. I didn't like this cumin before. I always feel a strange smell, but now I use it for barbecue and it feels pretty good.

 I heard that you married a foreign wife? "

"Why"

Su Yin hurriedly said, "Who is spreading this nonsense?"

“It’s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Look at this guy Zhu Rong. He has a lion roaring from the east of the river at home, but he still has a heart that refuses to admit defeat.”

Jiang Qiu said carelessly, "Your family is a virtuous family, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Su Yin shook his head and said, "No, it's not that I'm afraid. I'm just spreading rumors. I did prefer a noble man before, but he tried to make me look bad over and over again. Have you heard of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Zhuge Liang didn't do that either. It’s hard to invite, so that’s all in the end.

 Now, I don’t think about anything else.

 I don’t know about Pork Rong. Does this **** have such courage?

His mother-in-law has a bad temper, but the important thing is that her kung fu is good. Pork Rong probably only deserves a beating. "

Jiang Qiu said, "Why not?

I went to Yuezhou with Jiang Dasheng. I originally wanted to find some orders, but I met a woman. I thought it was true love and brought her back secretly.

At this moment, the family is probably in a state of chaos. "

The sun is high.

Mrs. Sun Chongde, who was driving a carriage to sprinkle water on the streets of Nancheng, suddenly spotted Pork Rong, who was hurriedly walking past with his face covered. She laughed loudly and said, "What, are you going to take care of me?"

Hearing this shout, Zhu Zhurong ran faster.

 The old woman cleaning the house in the back laughed even louder.

Pork Rong can’t wait to find a place to drill.

Turn a corner, without raising your head, and knock on the door.

With a creak, the door opened, and the butcher poked his head out. After looking around, he stopped Pork Rong who was about to come in and said quickly, "What are you doing!"

Pork Rong said eagerly, "I'll talk out of the limelight."

“Your mother-in-law is very familiar with my place. She will definitely find her right away. You can’t hide here.”

The butcher said nervously, "We are brothers. Don't cheat me. You'd better hide somewhere else."

"etc,"

Pork Rong pressed against the door that was about to close, and said with a smile, "I can hide in your cellar."

"no,"

The butcher said firmly, "I helped you send your sweetheart out of the city. It's enough to scare you. Don't try to trick me again."

Pork Rong said, "Jiang Dasheng, you can't do this and refuse to save me until you die!"

The butcher said, "It's better for you to die than for me to die, right?"

I can't afford to mess with that **** of yours!

You, you'd better go to an inn and stay for a while.

 When your mother-in-law's anger subsides, it won't be too late for you to come back. "

Pork Rong stamped his feet and said, "If you let me hide in the inn, can I still come to your place?"

The butcher's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Then why should I go and meet you outside the city?"

 When you two go out, you can be regarded as lovers finally getting married. "

Pork Rong said in a bitter voice, "Fart, all the property is in charge of my mother-in-law, where can I go?"

He is reluctant to part with his wife, but he is also reluctant to part with so many possessions he has earned!

The butcher shook his head and said, "My wife told me not to let me play with an ungrateful person like you who abandons his wife and children."

After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.

 “Well done to you, a great general!”

Pork Rong cursed at the closed door, "I paid you wrongly after all!

 You ungrateful piece of shit! "

 I couldn’t stop sighing in my heart.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred, and he rushed to the stable of Hewangfu.

I was sweating profusely from running. I just arrived at the stable and was about to say hello to Sang An who was drinking tea at the door. Unexpectedly, Sang An turned around and ran away, followed by another bang.

 “Who are they?”

 Thinking about how big the world is, how can there be room for oneself?
